Wreck's POV

-TWO DAYS LATER-

I am currently riding on the Elk Bus as Negotiation Team heads towards the southernmost part of our land. We are heading towards the riverbank of the Great River where the people from Thrile are currently in. The travel time is expected to be 2 hours long and we are already 1 hour and 30 minutes in. in 30 minutes we will be arriving at our destination.

I have been traveling a lot of times lately but this travel is different because it is way nearer compared to traveling towards the Kingdom of Zione that usually takes days if you travel by foot or through a horse.

After waiting for a while, the bus finally stopped. Bubba, who was flying right outside the entourage, went on the bus and told us.

"We are already here sir.'

"Alright, I will be out in a while. Men, you may go out first and wit for me."

After my orders, Mello, Mayor Well, and the rest of the generals except Kirth went outside the bus.

"Why are you still here Kirth?"

"Waiting for you, of course. I need to protect the Leader of our Nation as a general."

"Oh please, don't make me laugh. You protecting me? I might even protect you if an enemy suddenly comes in."

"Well, it is my job nonetheless. What are you still doing here then?"

"Just to grab my blade and to prepare my mind for today's battle."

"Well, you better sharpen those blades of yours. It has been a long time since you have used your mouth in battle. You might be a little rusty."

"I know, so you better pray goes fine. Now let us head out!"

After that talk, Kirth and I walked out of the bus. The rest of the team was waiting right outside us.

"Everything is ready, Chairman," Mello said.

"Good. Now let us start our mission."

Right across the location we parked, a group of soldiers guarding the doors of a huge tent is in our sight. We headed towards that place which I believe where their leader is located. Before we can go inside, a young man suddenly goes out of that huge tent and swiftly charges towards us with two swords in his hands and suddenly…..

*SLICE!!!!!!!!*

*BLOCK!!!!!*

Damn! Who is this guy?! Why is he suddenly acting hostile on us?! I better retaliate before anything goes wrong but before I can move…..

*GROUND MOVING SFX*

What?! The ground suddenly moved! I cannot stand still!!! Is this his ability?! I better gain my balance before I get hit by his blades!

*THUD*

I fell in the ground. I just couldn't get my balance. The blades were about to fall down to me but suddenly…

*BLOCK*

The shaking of the ground stopped.

The two blades held by the foe were in the air.

One voice echoed throughout the land.

And it was a very loud one.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"

I glanced towards the location where the voice came from, and I saw a man holding a long spear standing in front of the guy that attacked me. He was scolding the guy.

"HECTOR?! What are you doing?! Why are you attacking our guests!?!"

"Why did you stop me, Larry? Is it wrong to attack the enemy?"

"They are not enemies, dumbass! They are here for Peace Talks and what you did just ruined the whole purpose of this event! God, You should have not come here if that is what you are going to do. Go away!"

"Alright, I will go home. No need to overreact!!" The guy that was named Hector then grabbed his swords that were lying on the ground.

"By the way, I was expecting more out of you as the King of your country," Hector added right in front of my face then walked away.

What?! Did this guy just straight up trash-talked me?!

I was trying to calm myself down but all of a sudden, Kaji was about to charge at the guy who already walked away. I quickly stopped his movement in order to prevent more trouble to occur.

"Don't engage anymore, Kaji."

"But he was attacking you earlier Chairman! We should return the favor!" Kaji replied.

"Just don't do it, General Kaji! This is an order from your superior! Stand back!" I ordered.

Kirth then dragged Kaji at the back.

The man that scolded Hector then walked towards us and said.

"I am very sorry for the actions of my younger brother. I promise we have no plans for being hostile. I hope we can compensate for his actions."

I was pretty mad at that guy but as the leader, I must be mature and handle this professionally.

"It is fine, as long as our goal is achieved here. My name is Wreck Crimson and I am the Chairman of the Mudland Union."

"Nice to meet you, Chairman Wreck. My name is 1st Prince Larry of the Kingdom of Thrile. I hope we can get into an agreement here. Let me guide you and your group to our base inside."

Prince Larry then guided us towards the large tent. There is a large table with chairs inside which I would assume is where we would be having our meeting.

"Have a seat."

After all of the members sat down, the Prince immediately started the discussion.

"Now that we are settled down, let us start. Please elaborate on the purpose of your visit here in our base." The prince asked.

"We are currently visiting your base because we are wondering why your kingdom suddenly headed nearby our land?" I replied.

"Does our sudden movement bother you?"

"As a leader of a nation, it does come into our concern. We were just surprised by the move. It does not hurt on being careful right?"

"I can see the point that you're heading Chairman, but I don't see any harm on what we did."

I feel like this conversation is becoming troublesome for me, so I signaled Mello for help.

"With all due respect Prince Larry, but we came here in order to reach an agreement for the two sides, and as the group that went near our territory, would you mind telling us your purpose in order for us to get a judgment on the situation?"

"HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!! You guys are hilarious!!"

What?! Why did this man laughed. Now I am getting worried about this meeting.

"Fine Fine. Let me tell you the things that I can tell you guys."

Finally!

"We are here to build a port. The name of the Project is 'Northport'."
